Secret Dice

"At this time when thousands of families gather together to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new."

"We say to people of all ethnic groups across the country."

"To our compatriots overseas and the sons and daughters of Aurora all over the world."

"Happy New Year!"

…………

In front of the TV on New Year's Eve, several well-known hosts greeted the people of the whole country on a gorgeous and festive stage, and the Aurora-style Spring Festival Gala also kicked off.

Outside the house, the sound of various firecrackers came one after another, which made many foreigners who had just come to Aurora feel frightened. Inside the house, every family was laughing and having fun.

At this moment, Luo Jun was sitting on the sofa in Yuan Lao's house, surrounded by various relatives from his master's family.

Yuan Lao was over 100 years old, and he had more than just one daughter, Dean Su, and many descendants of his nephews and nieces. There were many grandchildren and nephews in the family. The originally spacious villa seemed a little crowded after being filled with so many relatives.

Luo Jun, who had spent the New Year alone for several years, suddenly faced this scene. Even after going through a lot of storms, he couldn't help but feel a little cramped.

Of course, it was impossible for Elder Yuan to say that Luo Jun was his direct disciple. He could only say that he was a distant relative, of the same generation as Su Manchen.

This was incredible. Among Elder Yuan's children, Dean Su was over 60 years old and the youngest. Her older brothers and sisters were no longer alive. Luo Jun was of the same generation as her, and the dozens of people in the room were all his juniors.

Therefore, when Luo Jun first came, everyone kept a distance from him, but after a New Year's Eve dinner, they got closer to each other, and the younger generation began to "behave without respect".

"So, you are a relative of Grandma Su?" asked a middle-aged man in his fifties. His name was Yuan Sizhe, and he was the grandson of Elder Yuan.

"Yes..." Luo Jun nodded. The so-called Grandma Su was Dean Su's mother, not Elder Yuan's original wife. Yuan Lao's first wife died while exploring the other world. Later, Yuan Lao met Su Manchen's mother and had Su Manchen after marriage. But later, they divorced for some reasons. At that time, the young Su Manchen followed her mother and changed her surname to Su, and cut off contact with Yuan Lao. It was not until many years later that she also stepped into the extraordinary world and became the dean. Only then did she recognize Yuan Lao for work reasons...

The process of their recognition is enough to shoot a few dozen episodes of ethics drama, so I won't go into details here. In short, after all these years, Dean Su has tentatively recognized this biological father, and the relationship between the two is not as distant as before. However, because of her childhood experience, it is still a bit awkward to get along with Yuan Lao. Even during the Chinese New Year, she is unwilling to come home. At most, she will make a phone call or send a message.

"That's rare..." Yuan Sizhe touched his chin: "Grandma Su's relatives all regard grandpa as an enemy..."

"Oh, I'm just a distant relative... We have almost no blood relationship and haven't been in contact for many years." Luo Jun said as he introduced himself to Yuan Lao: "If I hadn't been admitted to Ningdong College this time and investigated my family background, Yuan Lao wouldn't have known that we are still related..."

"Really great, I also took the exam for several years, but I didn't pass, and I was scolded by grandpa..." Recalling the past, Yuan Sizhe sighed endlessly.

"That's because you are too stupid." A woman in her forties said: "I passed the exam in one year!" Her name is Yuan Sijia, the granddaughter of Yuan Lao and the cousin of Yuan Sizhe.

"What's the point of you passing the exam? After graduation, you'll still be a civilian." Yuan Sizhe curled his lips and said, "I've been an explorer for several years."

"Can't I just seek stability?" Yuan Sijia retorted, "Besides, don't talk about those years you were an explorer. You were almost killed by the polluter. It was your uncle who went to [Wulin] to save you!"

"Speaking of which, how are Xiao Luo's grades this year? What class will you be assigned to next semester?" On the other side, a man in his thirties asked. His name is Yuan Weien, and he is the great-grandson of Mr. Yuan.

The final exam of Ningdong College is actually the class placement exam for the next semester. Based on grades and performance, you can decide which class you will be assigned to next semester.

"I'll be in Class A next semester." Luo Jun answered honestly.

"Oh, you're an excellent student!"

"That's amazing!"

"I heard that you've only been in contact with Yuan Qi for less than a year?"

"You'll be a rising star in the future."

There was a burst of praise from all around, and a young woman in her twenties said, "I was also in Class A back then, why didn't you praise me so much..." Her name was Yuan Weiyi, Yuan Weien's sister.

"You?" Yuan Weien pouted and said, "Don't you think about how much resources your parents invested in training you? They worked so hard to get you to the fourth level of Pei Yuan Realm before you entered school. If you can't be assigned to Class A, you should apologize to your great grandfather!"

Hearing him say this, the whole family laughed.

"If you ask me, the most promising person in our family in the past twenty years is Xiao Min." Yuan Sizhe laughed.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hearing him say this, the others echoed and cast their eyes on a little girl wearing glasses who was reading a book in the corner.

Noticing everyone's gaze, the girl raised her head, looked around in a daze, then lowered her head and immersed herself in the ocean of knowledge again.

This girl is Yuan Lingmin, she is only sixteen years old this year, and is the great-great-granddaughter of Mr. Yuan. But looking at her confused look, the word Lingmin is completely unrelated to her.

But Luo Jun didn't dare to look down on her. The eyesight of cultivators is basically fine. Unless they wear glasses for fun, they are all treasures. Some are for increasing ability, and some may be for hiding power.

This girl looks weak and quiet, and her aura is not very strong, but Luo Jun's keen insight can sense that she exudes an extraordinary aura.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Min will be a senior in high school next year, right? If you ask me, don't waste that time studying in high school, just take the Explorer Academy this year."

"That won't work." Xiao Min's parents said: "Although explorers focus on strength, what is more important is the heart dedicated to the main world. Immersed in the world of cultivators too early, lack of contact with ordinary people, will also lack a sense of belonging to this world. Many polluters are shaken by this."

As she said, Xiao Min's mother stepped forward and touched her daughter's head: "I hope she can have more contact with those ordinary classmates, experience their lives, understand their joys and sorrows... This is exactly what Xiao Min lacks."

These words touched Luo Jun. All along, most practitioners have been working hard to improve their realm and make themselves transcend ordinary people as much as possible. But here, these descendants of Yuan Lao are still proud of being ordinary people. They are sincerely fighting for ordinary people and for this world.

"Oh, stop talking nonsense!" At this time, Yuan Lao's voice came: "The Spring Festival Gala has started, have you forgotten what to do?"

Everyone looked at it and saw that the huge dining table had been pushed into the living room, with a chopping board and rolling pin on it.

"It's time to make dumplings again..." Several young people were a little impatient, and they didn't seem to be very interested in this annual fixed program. Instead, the elders urged the children to help.

For such a large family, there are naturally many dumplings to eat during the New Year's Eve. Everyone gathered around the table, divided the work and cooperated, and began to skillfully make dumplings with the background sound of the Spring Festival Gala.

As a guest, Luo Jun was naturally embarrassed to sit there and help. He has lived with his grandfather since he was young, so making dumplings is no problem for him. In addition, he is now very good at making dumplings. He took on the responsibility of rolling the dough by himself. Standing in the middle of the table, he used a rolling pin to make the dumpling skins fly around. He provided for the whole family.

Just when everyone was happy and joyful, Yuan Lao suddenly changed his face: "Why at this time?"

"What's wrong, Grandpa?" Yuan Sizhe asked curiously.

Old Yuan waved his hand: "Nothing, just received a notification of the chaos mission... Really, I want to have a quiet New Year."

"Chaos mission... I don't know what it is." Yuan Weiyi frowned and said: "I don't know if I can catch up with eating dumplings..."

"It's not that easy." Old Yuan laughed and cursed: "The chaos mission will take at least a few hours, and it may take several days. Maybe this year will be spent... I should have found a way to complete the mission before the New Year. Forget it, complaining now is useless, you continue to make dumplings, I'll make some preparations."

"Grandpa..." Old Yuan just took off his apron and heard Yuan Lingmin calling him. Old Yuan liked this extremely gifted great-granddaughter very much. The old man looked over with a smile: "What's wrong, Xiao Min?"

Yuan Lingmin pushed her glasses, tilted her head to look at Old Yuan, and suddenly said: "You are going to die!"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Jun, who was rolling dough, almost let his rolling pin fly out...

This girl is so unscrupulous in her words. When he was a child, during the New Year, his grandfather would scold him for mentioning the word "medicine", not to mention illness or death. Not only did Yuan Lingmin dare to say that, but she also pointed at her nose and said that her great-grandfather was going to die? Wouldn't she be beaten up and thrown out by the adults in the family?

Luo Jun looked around nervously, but found that no one scolded her at all. Instead, everyone looked serious.

"Xiao Min, are you serious?" Yuan Sijia came over and asked.

Yuan Lingmin nodded, pointed at Yuan Lao and said, "Yes, there is a strong death aura, and it looks like he is in danger of death."

Everyone was worried when they heard this, and even Yuan Lao frowned: "When did it start?"

"Just now, when you said you received the chaos mission."

"How is it possible!" Yuan Sijia was surprised: "Grandpa has a death-avoiding treasure, how could he show a death-like appearance?"

"The treasure is not omnipotent..." Yuan Lao nodded: "It seems that this mission is not simple."

Luo Jun also roughly understood this time. Obviously, Yuan Lingmin's words were not aimless, and she could obviously see something.

"Xiao Min is a perceptive person, and she is a very talented perceptive person." Yuan Weien, who was standing by, saw Luo Jun's curiosity and explained, "The perceptive person has two directions of practice, one real and one virtual. The ultimate of the real direction is the eye of truth, which can see through all disguises and lies, leaving no place for people to hide, and even see through people's hearts. Song Yi from your school is a leader in practicing the eye of truth."

"The other virtual direction, the ultimate is called the eye of heaven, also known as the eye of destiny. Although the ability to see through disguises is not as strong as the eye of truth when practicing this direction, it can see the information hidden behind things, see the veins of destiny, and even have the ability to predict the future."

"Xiao Min has a very strong talent for the eye of heaven, and what she is best at is seeing the death of others. Although this ability is not yet mature and cannot be used at will in many cases, when it works, it is always effective!"

After hearing what Yuan Weien said, Luo Jun also frowned: "So, this mission of Mr. Yuan is very dangerous? Is there no way to crack it?"

"Of course there is." Yuan Weien added: "The Sky Eye only sees the direction of the current destiny. If the current conditions change, it is possible to change the destiny."

As soon as the voice fell, Yuan Sizhe stood up: "Well, I will accompany grandpa to do the mission! I also have a follow card in my hand, which can follow the people who have received the Chaos Mission Recruitment and participate in the mission together."

As he said, he actually took out a card, which was faintly shining with blue light. It should be a rare treasure.

"No." Yuan Lingmin shook her head: "Grandpa's death has not diminished at all... Moreover, when you took out the follow card, you also showed a death look... a death look with no chance of survival."

"What?" Yuan Sizhe was embarrassed: "You said I died more thoroughly than Grandpa?"

"Don't make trouble with your half-baked knowledge." An old woman in her sixties came over: "Let me accompany Grandpa."

The old woman's name is Yuan Si Ning, and she is the granddaughter of Yuan Lao.

"Second sister, you go?" Yuan Sizhe said: "You haven't recovered from your last injury yet, right?"

"It's fine now." Yuan Si Ning shook her head: "My ability is auxiliary, and I can protect Grandpa." As she said that, she snatched the follow card from Yuan Sizhe and looked at Xiao Min.

Yuan Lingmin shook his head: "Grandpa's death signs have slightly weakened, but the second aunt is definitely dead!"

"Don't argue." At this time, a 70-year-old man with a beard stood up: "I'll go."

Yuan Sijie, the eldest grandson of Yuan Lao, is also Yuan Lingmin's grandfather. Apart from Yuan Lao, he is the senior with the highest cultivation in the Yuan family.

"But brother, you just participated in the mission a few days ago, right? You can't use the follow card."

Yuan Sijie waved his hand and took out another card: "It's okay, I have a refresh card, which can refresh the progress of the mission within the cycle and do another mission." As he said, he took the follow card from Yuan Sining.

Xiao Min shook her head again: "Grandpa's death signs have hardly decreased, and you, grandpa, are extremely dead..."

"So dangerous?" Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

"Okay, okay." Yuan Lao waved his hand: "It's just a narrow escape, it's not like I haven't experienced it before... Isn't there still a glimmer of hope? Don't worry, I will come back for the New Year."

"No, how can I let my grandfather (great grandfather) risk his life? I want to go with him!" Everyone volunteered. During the quarrel, Yuan Sijie's hands were empty and two cards disappeared.

"Who took my card?" Yuan Sijie said angrily. At this time, Luo Jun stood beside Yuan Lao holding the refresh card and the follow card: "Let me go."

"You?!" Everyone didn't expect that this young distant relative would actually stand up.

"How can this be, you are a guest, and you are just a student, how can I let you..." Everyone was about to dissuade him, but Luo Jun smiled slightly, injected vitality, and used up the two cards.

"You... Nonsense!" Yuan Lao was shocked when he saw this: "How can you act on your own, you stinky boy!"

Others also became angry: "Who else has a follow card? Take it out quickly?!"

Just when everyone was in a mess, Yuan Lingmin suddenly spoke.

"Grandpa's deathly appearance has been greatly reduced!"
